Small Storage & Garages

Our 12-foot wide “Space-Saver” is a popular structure used for carports or garages. A 12-foot width accommodates most vehicles easily. The cover for this carport illustrated is a green U.V. treated 12 mil woven poly tarp. White is more commonly chosen because of added light and life span.

This versatile building is well suited for a variety of your storage needs. With 7 feet of headroom at 1 foot in from the sidewall, you can take advantage of more usable square footage (as compared to a “greenhouse” structure of similar dimensions). Also ideal for small recreational vehicles, garden furniture or even for a workshop. This structure is available in any length with widths ranging from 12 to 20 feet. Kits include tarp end coverings.

TARP vs. PLASTIC

The big difference is that with TARPyou get extremely high tear resistance with good annual cover cost, and with PLASTICyou get slightly less life span but even less annual cover cost.

Covering Details

We offer 12 mil woven tarp in white or green

White lets in quite a bit of light but no sunshine so it’s cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter. White has an 8 year expected life span.

Green absorbs quite a bit of heat, which makes it about 10°C warmer in the summer. With little or no light penetration it is 10°C colder in the winter. Green has a 6 year expected life span.

6 mil white plastic comes with a 4 year warranty against deterioration by the sun. Single layer plastic has a 5 year expected life span. Replacement cost is about 1/3 that of tarp.

Double layer plastic with air between is available as a way to stiffen buildings in severely windy areas. Double layer has a 7-8 yr expected life span. Package includes inflator fan.
